Having a large number of Sikh officers and troops in its ranks, the Indian Army has issued procedures and guidelines for its personnel desirous of visiting the Gurdwara Darbar Sahib in <a href="https://www.wionews.com/south-asia/pakistan-prime-minister-imran-khan-officially-inaugurates-kartarpur-corridor-261021">Kartarpur </a>in Pakistan.

According to the Indian Army sources, guidelines have been issued twice in November for the personnel who wish to visit the most revered shrine of Sikhs in Pakistan through the recently-opened Kartarpur corridor.

In the guidelines, the Army has also asked its personnel to be careful while visiting there as they are bound to come in contact with foreign nationals.

The Indian Army sources said since the personnel of the force would be visiting Pakistan which is considered as the main adversary, the troops would be required to be extra cautious during the pilgrimage.

The Indian Army has a large number of Sikh officers and troops in its ranks. Its three regiments including the Sikh Regiment, Sikh Light Infantry Regiment and the Punjab Regiment mainly comprise Sikh troops from Punjab and neighbouring states of Haryana and Himachal Pradesh.

On November 9, Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan inaugurated the Kartarpur corridor to facilitate the visa-free entry of Indian Sikh pilgrims to celebrate the 550th birth anniversary of the founder of Sikhism Guru Nanak Dev.

Even though Pakistan has been claiming the Kartarpur corridor to be the brainchild of Imran Khan, its Railways Minister Sheikh Rashid recently contradicted his own government saying that the opening of the corridor was the brainchild of Army chief General Qamar Javed Bajwa and asserted that it will hurt India forever.&nbsp;

The government has decided to restore broadband internet service in the Kashmir region after remaining suspended for over four-month following the decision to abrogate the J&amp;K special status on August 5 this year.&nbsp;

Sources in the administration told WION that the decision has been taken to restore the broadband internet in a phased manner beginning from December itself. "In this month, the broadband internet will be restored but in a phased manner, starting from north Kashmir," said a source privy to the information.&nbsp;

Earlier this week, the first Lieutenant-Governor of Jammu and Kashmir, G C Murmu, had told reporters at the sidelines of a function in Baramulla that the internet service would be restored in Kashmir in phases, however, he had given no timeline of the restoration.&nbsp;

"We are reviewing things and once it gets more normal (situation), we will do it phase-wise (internet). We have already discussed it with the administration and we are taking it up," Murmu had said.&nbsp;

Both mobile and broadband internet was snapped on August 4 mid-night which according to the government was done to save lives and stop the spread of misinformation. Mobile and landlines were also suspended by the authorities but later resumed as the situation became "normal".

Union Home Minister Amit Shah&nbsp;had informed Rajya Sabha in November that the internet will be restored when the administration in the valley will find it appropriate to do so, citing India's security, terrorism and people's security as a reason.&nbsp;

Maharashtra's anti-corruption bureau (ACB) has cleared Nationalist Congress Party's leader Ajit Pawar of allegations in an irrigation scam case in an affidavit submitted in the court.

The 16-page affidavit, dated November 27, was submitted at the Nagpur Bench of Bombay High Court by ACB superintendent Rashmi Nandedkar in which she has observed that there is no criminal liability on the part of the then Chairman of the VIDC (Minister of WRD) in respect of the process of granting sanction.

Minister of Water Resources Department is Ex-Officio Chairman of the Vidarbha Irrigation Development Corporation.

"The payment of EMD amount by the successful bidders for his competitors in some cases, issuing of tender booklets to some non-eligible bidders joint venture firms without following the pre-condition of the tenders etc. But these lapses are on the part of executing agencies of the tender work i.e Engineers, Divisional Accountant and the respective contractors. The Chairman of the VIDC/Minister of WRD cannot be held responsible for executing agencies, as there is no legal duty on his part", the probe agency said in its affidavit.

In its enquiry report, the ACB has also stated that 'There is no evidence on record to say that the Secretary of the Department had briefed the Minister of Water Resources Department about not accepting the liability of the tender work'.

The state anti-corruption bureau has also said that the Chairman of the VIDC has acted in the line with the then prevailing policy of the corporation and in accordance with the proposals put up before him by the Executive Directors on Managing Directors of the VIDC.

In the report filed in the court, the probe agency mentions that "considering the facts and evidence collected during the course of enquiry/investigation, it is observed that there is no criminal liability on the part of the then Chairman of the VIDC (Minister of WRD) in respect of the process of granting sanction to the liability of the tender cost including that of updated cost and sanctioning the mobilization advance to the contractors or any other allegations/charges."

Pawar, who belongs to the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), along with others, was in-charge of Maharashtra's irrigation department when the Congress-NCP coalition government was in power in the state from 1999 to 2014. That was a period during which the scam, relating to alleged irregularities in various irrigation projects, took place.&nbsp;

A total of <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/jamiat-ulema-e-hind-files-review-petition-against-ayodhya-verdict-265738">six petitions </a>were filed on Friday challenging the Supreme Court`s November 9 decision granting ownership rights to Hindus parties in Ramjanmbhoomi-Babri Masjid land dispute case.

While five review petitions were filed by people supported by the All India Muslim Personal Law Board (AIMPBL), one has been filed by Peace Party of India. Mufti Hasbullah, Moulana Mahfoozur Rehman, Misbahuddin, Mohammad Umar and Haji Nahboob filed review petitions through advocates on record (AORs) MR Shamshad, Shakil Ahmad Syed, Irshad Ahmad and Fuzail Ahmad Ayyubi.

All of these petitioners are supported by the AIMPBL.In a press release, AIMPBL said, "Muslim Personal Board General Secretary Mohammad Wali Rahmani expressed his satisfaction and extended gratitude and thanks to Rajiv Dhavan and other senior counsels and AORs.

"Rajiv Dhavan had appeared for Muslim parties in the Ramjanmbhoomi-Babri Masjid land title dispute suit and has recently been sacked by the AIMPBL. "Title could not have been given to Hindu parties on the basis of exclusive possession of entire site which never existed at any point in time with the Hindus, since it is admitted that Muslims entered and prayed at the site till 16th December 1949 and were later prevented from doing so because of the attachment while unfairly permitting Hindu worship following criminal trespass," one of the petitions read.

It further said, "The November 9 judgment erred in accepting the juristic personality of the idol entitled it to the middle dome of the courtyard after holding that the idol was illegally and forcibly put there. An idol, as the deity, cannot be simultaneously illegally placed and legally valid to claim the title."

"The Judgment in Review condones serious illegalities of destruction, criminal trespass and violation of rule of law including damaging the mosque and eventually destroying it," the review plea further said, adding that the court erred in not considering that there was a dedication of the mosque which was self-evident from the inscriptions, read petitions. On November 9, the apex court had directed for setting up of a trust to construct Ram Temple and provide five-acre land to Muslims in Ayodhya, Uttar Pradesh.&nbsp;

Six review pleas filed in Supreme Court against Ayodhya land verdict

A six-year-old girl has proved that "if you can dream it, you can do it" as her charity song on brain tumor has gained the number one spot in the Amazon download chart.&nbsp;

Lyra Cole, from&nbsp;Somerset in the United Kingdom, was diagnosed with a brain tumor, but she did not let this deadly disease hinder her dream to raise money for a charity dedicated to the research of brain tumors.&nbsp;

Recently, Cole's recording of the Christmas classic 'When A Child is Born', surpassed 'Stormzy' to reach the top spot in the Amazon download chart.

In an exclusive interview with WION, Lyra's father Dan cole and aunt Jessie Hawkes, shared how little Lyra was so fond of singing and dancing when she was just only one-year-old.

"From very young, probably, maybe around one or two. She had always loved music. She always sings along music. She has always enjoyed and loved it", said father Dan Coles.

Lyra was just five months old when she underwent emergency surgery. Within months Lyra was struggling to see and underwent a second procedure a year later which restored her sight. Her parents Dan Cole and Ellie Hawkes were horrified to learn that brain tumors kill more children and adults under the age of 40 than any other cancer yet, historically, just 1% of the national spend on cancer research has been allocated to this devastating disease.

"Brain tumor research is a charity that funds research in brain tumors right from the beginning of the diagnosis. We chose them because only one percent of the fund is actually in the UK dedicated to brain tumors. So it's very low considering actually only 22 per cent of the people survive them. So it's really very close to our heart and we hope that we can change this in the future and get more funding," said aunt Jessie.

When asked if Lyra knows about what she had gone through, father Dan said that she knows about it and completely understands it.

On asked why they chose "When a child is born",&nbsp;aunt Jessie said, "I think we chose the track because this has been our favorite Christmas track. Also, it just resonates kind of feel that we go, when a child is born like that, you know this horrible tragic that happened. So this really resonates that and it's a really beautiful Christmas song."

Being proud of her daughter, father Dan was amazed by the kind of response that he received after the release of the song.

"I feel really proud. It's amazing to see what she has done in such a short phase of time. I am really proud."

"It's been absolutely crazy. We have had lots of news and radio. It's gone absolutely crazy. It is really amazing, big and we haven't expected it," added Dan.

Slow road to justice for women in India

Union Minister <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-general-elections-2019/north-remembers-smriti-iranis-dig-at-rahul-gandhi-after-amethi-win-221254">Smriti Irani</a> on Friday said that she was 'saddened' with the alleged misbehavior of two Congress MPs in the Lok Sabha after she spoke on an attack on a rape survivor in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao.

Speaking to reporters in the Parliament complex, Irani said: "Today, I had a Congress MP chastising me for, he said, I spoke aggressively. In the House, some male MPs came towards me rolling up their sleeves."

"After that, a youth MP said why did Smriti even speak? I am saddened. If speaking is a crime since I am a BJP member, I want to see in Parliament on Monday how is the opposition going to punish me further for speaking in the interest of women," she said.

The matter of alleged misbehavior was raised by Parliamentary Affairs Minister <a href="https://www.wionews.com/videos/mukhtar-naqvi-and-pralhad-joshi-take-oath-as-minister-222908">Pralhad Joshi</a> after the House met at 1.30 pm following an adjournment earlier. He said that it was wrong to come in front of a woman MP in a 'threatening position.'

"She was expressing her opinion. The behavior is most uncalled for. Call the two members. They should apologise," he said.

BJP MP Sangeeta Kumari Singh Deo said one of the MPs behaved in a threatening way. "He pulled up his sleeve. He came forward," she said.

Meenakshi Lekhi, who was in the Chair, asked Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury to talk to the party MPs regarding the apology and adjourned the House till 2.30 pm.

Union Minister Smriti Irani on Friday said that she was 'saddened' with the alleged misbehavior of two Congress MPs in the Lok Sabha after she spoke on an attack on a rape survivor in Uttar Pradesh's Unnao. Speaking to reporters in the Parliament complex, Irani said: "Today, I had a Congress MP chastising me for, he said, I spoke aggressively. In the House, some male MPs came towards me rolling up their sleeves." "After that, a youth MP said why did Smriti even speak? I am saddened. If speaking is a crime since I am a BJP member, I want to see in Parliament on Monday how is the opposition going to punish me further for speaking in the interest of women," she said. The matter of alleged misbehavior was raised by Parliamentary Affairs Minister Pralhad Joshi after the House met at 1.30 pm following an adjournment earlier. He said that it was wrong to come in front of a woman MP in a 'threatening position.' "She was expressing her opinion. The behavior is most uncalled for. Call the two members. They should apologise," he said. BJP MP Sangeeta Kumari Singh Deo said one of the MPs behaved in a threatening way. "He pulled up his sleeve. He came forward," she said. Meenakshi Lekhi, who was in the Chair, asked Congress leader Adhir Ranjan Chowdhury to talk to the party MPs regarding the apology and adjourned the House till 2.30 pm. The House earlier witnessed a clash between Congress and BJP members with both accusing each other of politicising the brutal incident in which the Unnao rape survivor was set ablaze.

For controlling air pollution on the National Highways, the <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/sterlite-case-national-green-tribunal-allows-access-to-administrative-unit-158077">National Green Tribunal</a> (NGT) has directed Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change to make an effective monitoring mechanism for ensuring the maintenance of green belts on both sides of all the highways.

The green tribunal order came after taking note of the steps taken for the maintenance of green belts on both sides of the highways and for removing encroachments were not adequate in absence of an effective institutional mechanism to monitor compliance of such norms.

"Accordingly we direct the Secretary MoEF&amp;CC in collaboration with Secretary Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to evolve an effective monitoring mechanism at national level with the object of ensuring maintenance of green belts on both sides of all Highways up to specified distance, there is no construction up to specified distance, there is no direct access to the Highway, there is no encroachment and buildings on roadsides are regulated in terms of environmental norms so that no air/water pollution or encroachment of Highway is caused," the NGT said in its order.

The tribunal directed the MoEF&amp;CC to collect the requisite data in respect of National Highways from NHAI and in respect of State Highways from respective States and UTs and said that data may be compiled by the Chief Secretaries of States/UTs in coordination with their respective Environment, Forests, and Public Works Departments.

The data should contain details of extent of encroachment and action plan for its removal, provisions for leaving space up to a particular distance from the road for expansion and for plantation, extent of access directly allowed from Highway to buildings and ensuring that there is no direct access to the road obstructing existing or potential plantation and buildings near roads up to a specified distance are regulated to ensure that no air, water or other pollution is caused and no encroachment takes place or space on roads on account of activities of such buildings.

The NGT said that the monitoring mechanism may deal with the issue in following parts&nbsp;future policy with regard to Highways to be constructed henceforth; policy with regard to Highways already constructed or in progress where space is available; policy with regard to highways where constructions have already been made with regard to division in nature of construction and legality thereof.

The MoEF&amp;CC was directed to file an affidavit within two months. The NGT has asked NHAI to file affidavit about the extent of encroachment on National Highway, action plan for removal of such encroachment, extent of plantations, extent of access directly allowed from highways to buildings, requirement of distance from highways for construction and indicating the status of preparation and execution of action plans by individual teams to ensure green work development and status of removal of encroachment by Task Force constructed by NHIDCL.

The green tribunal was hearing a plea filed by Society for Protection of Culture, Heritage, Environment, Traditions, and Promotion of National Awareness alleging that continuous movement of vehicles caused dust pollution and an increase of PM2.5 and PM10 and consequential health hazards. The applicant also alleged that a large number of structures were built on the sides of highways having direct illegal access to NH8, destroying the space for mandatory green cover.

Two days after securing bail in the INX Media case, former finance minister and senior Congress leader <a href="https://www.wionews.com/india-news/p-chidambaram-steps-out-from-tihar-jail-after-106-days-of-custody-266263">P Chidambaram </a>lashed out at the BJP government in Centre and Jharkhand, saying that India's economy is in "incompetent hands" and Jharkhand's economy is in "even more incompetent hands".&nbsp;

"India's economy is in incompetent hands and Jharkhand's economy is in even more incompetent hands," Chidambaram said at a press conference ahead of the second phase of assembly elections in Jharkhand. The former finance minister's statements also came at a time when India's quarterly GDP fell to a six-year low to 4.5 per cent when figures were released on November 29.&nbsp;

Chidambaram also mentioned several developmental indicators in order to support his claim that Jharkhand is slipping backwards.&nbsp;

"Jharkhand's growth rate is good two per cent below the national average. Jharkhand has third-lowest per capita income in the country. Unemployment in Jharkhand is fourth highest in the country," he said.

Chidambaram also said that Congress was able to give a "dent" to BJP in Haryana, Maharashtra. "In Haryana, we dented BJP. In Maharashtra, we dented the BJP. In Jharkhand, we must defeat the BJP," Chidambaram said.&nbsp;

Senior Congress&nbsp;leader also said that the election in Jharkhand is an important "turning point" in the ongoing struggle between BJP and "secular, progressive parties". &nbsp;

Taking a jibe at BJP's claim of "double engine growth" implying both state and Centre have BJP governments, Chidambaram said, "Double engine growth is good if the two engines are pulling in the same direction but if they are pulling the opposite direction, this is what will happen."&nbsp;

Chidambaram also said that Congress-Jharkhand Mukti Morcha will not make tall promises and will provide a "competent" government in the state.

We don't want the minister to come and tell you that I don't eat onions. Our ministers will never say that," Chidambaram added.&nbsp;

The five-phase Assembly election in Jharkhand are underway and on November 30, voting for the first round was held. Voting for the next round will be held on December 7 and the elections will be completed on December 20. The results of the state Assembly election will be declared on December 23.&nbsp;
